This lad had a very tough life.

Udinese have confirmed they will look after Piermario Morosini’s sister, who relied on the player for financial and emotional support.

Morosini was under contract with Udinese and on loan at Livorno when he died during Saturday’s Serie B game with Pescara.

The 25-year-old had a very difficult life, as he lost both his parents before turning 18 and his disabled brother committed suicide.

The only remaining family member is his sister, who is also gravely ill and relied upon him for financial support.

Udinese and captain Antonio Di Natale have now confirmed they will ensure Morosini’s sister is looked after.

“He was an exceptional lad, so full of life. Despite all the problems he had, he was always at the disposal of the team and every day gave us all strength,” said Di Natale.

“I lost my mother four years ago and, as he had already been through this, he was very close to me. Watching the images on television was shocking. He wanted to get back up, but fell again. When seeing that, all you can do is pray the Lord will give you a hand.

“He wanted so much to live and find success, for himself, for the family he no longer had and his sister. I immediately said we could not play last night, as it wasn’t right. I compliment Inter and the FIGC for making that decision, as on a day like this football becomes impossible.”

Livorno and his girlfriend Anna released a statement thanking “all those who in these hours of pain have been close to us in their memories of a great athlete and a special person.”


Fair play to Di Natale

tragic reading that so young

Nor do I. He s just a footballer, far more deserving people deserve our sympathy, but never get it...

NEFC and maclufc, I can't decide if you are looking for bites or really mean it?

I hope if one of your kids die at 25 people care.

i don't care mate. i've never heard of him and i can't remember his name. im not one for jumping on other's grief. other people want to do it, fine. but it's this compulsory nonsense that leaves me cold. terrible for those close to him but i don't care - why should i? i doubt he would if it was me.

people need to realise there is an area between ladling it on and wishing harm on someone. in most cases i operate in that bit in the middle. all these 'RIP fella' things on the web are soft, in my opinion. not least cos the deceased won't see it.

I wonder the reaction on the board if it had been an english footballer.

I can easily see the pov from mac and nefc but i made the post somewhat also as a wondering why all these fit young athletes drop dead on the pitch all over the freaking world.

Its young people in their prime, living healthy lives (at least i think) and that makes the thoughts going.

I kinda feel its being played down here on the forum due to the guy not being english. I know 90% is english and I have seen a ton of R.I.P. posts for od english people who means jack to me, but then i refrain from commenting on them. I dont spend time going into a thread just to let everyone how much I dont care, easier not to.

just my 2 pennies and reason for making the thread

nowt to do with his nationality. the reason i commented was it came hot on the heels of an RIP about those leeds supporters who were killed 10 years ago or something and this muamba thing. none of which i care about. but i am getting tired of people feeling the need to mention how sad they are for people who, on the face of it, they have no link with. so im making the point that it's okay to not care about people you have no real connection to when they snuff it or stub their toe. its like the collections at work - theyre every fucking week now. a pal said they had a collection at work cos someone in the office was in negative equity! what the fuck? rambled off the point there but it's all part of the same thing. as tony soprano said, what happened to gary cooper? stop whining, stop 'grieving', stop shaking a bucket under my nose - we're british! get on with it.
to reiterate, me not caring is not the same as me wishing harm. these are two separate and distinct things.

I think the point of the thread is the fact he died on the pitch and we are all football fans, Italian football was called off at the weekend alltogether so if that is not a talking point then I don't know what is. Who is anyone to judge someone's compassion?

im not judging anyone's compassion. i just think there's a danger that 'compassion' is being seen to be compulsory, or at least expected. there are minutes silences seemingly every few weeks at football grounds now. i cant remember any when i was a kid.

I think it has something to do with the fact a lot of lads on here love or have loved football that these incidents strike a chord. Similarly with the two Leeds lads, I suppose many think there but for the grace of God.......

I see where you are coming from though.

I see where you are coming from. I nevver post RIP or get involved in these threads but saying "i don't care" about someone dying is just down right disrespectful.

Exactly, a pointless and heartless comment.

Some people are so ignorant its not even funny. Also the whole story behind the poor lads teammates funding care for his disabled sister who now has no family is heartwarming and sincere and actually restores faith in human beings, let alone the modern day footballer.

1985casual, i still don't care. as is my right.

going to go with the other two lads, couldn't really give a fuck, doubt if I died he wouldn't care either. Hate bandwagon jumping at the best of times, especially with death. When whitney died I wasnt arsed as I had never met the woman in my life and never liked any of her tunes ( even when sasha mixed in her vocals with leftfield), yet some of the population all of a sudden went into grief mode, same with Jacko. Whitney was a drug addict and jacko was arguably a nonce, if not a definate weirdo
